Let me tell you about a workshop that truly hit the mark: “Self-Compassion Strategies for Sign Language Interpreters.” With over 20 years leading interpreters, I’ve seen it all. But this workshop was different. It was spot on. Packed with practical tips and insights and a must for any interpreter looking to boost their wellbeing and skills. Trust me, it’s worth every minute.

Sometimes we are too close to our work, and we need to take a step back and reset. Monique's workshop Does Your Job Spark Joy helped me find that much needed reset and allowed me to see my work with fresh eyes.

I cannot believe that I just received CEUs for this time! Lately with where I am in my career, I am finding myself engaging and signing up for very technically based, or philosophical/schematic heavy trainings. This is the first time that I can remember in almost a decade where I have participated in a training that was focused around me as a person, and not me as an interpreter. It felt really good! I will absolutely take the practices and techniques and apply them back into my life.

I have had the pleasure of attending "Managing Stress and Vicarious Trauma" taught by Monique Champagne through my employer. Monique was relatable and engaging. She created a safe environment to learn about a topic that impacts me as a leader and interpreter. She taught strategies that I could apply immediately and demystified the topic. I found myself relaxing in her workshop as I finally found someone that "got" what I had been experiencing and named it. What Monique brings to our profession is crucial for the culture we live and work in.

This exceeded my expectations. I will attend any workshop with Jacob as a presenter. He is brilliant and has so much to offer that is applicable to my work as an interpreter. Not only that, but he is a skilled presenter, and he makes it easy to learn.

I would definitely recommend this training to others! Viewing ourselves and others through a trauma informed (and trauma transformative, I like this term!) lens can not only move the dial in our own trauma processing and healing but it helps to increase compassion for others.

Webinars from Healing Haven are by far my favorite! Receiving the validation that it is okay to put yourself first and that we need to so in order to balance the work ...thank you! Brooke is amazing and this is the workshop I really needed at this point in my life.

This training encouraged me to reflect on how we view our own skills and abilities as interpreters. The journal prompts and proficiency chart were helpful tools for thinking about where we are in our professional development and where we can continue to grow. I also liked the focus on identifying our support systems and how the people around us can help us navigate imposter syndrome.
